The Israeli army said Thursday that 15 more soldiers had been injured in the Gaza Strip and near the border with Lebanon in the last 24 hours.

A military statement said that 11 soldiers were wounded in ground battles in Gaza and four others near Israel's border with Lebanon.

According to the latest military figures, at least 626 soldiers have been killed and 3,494 others injured since the outbreak of the Gaza conflict on Oct. 7.

Israel continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire in the enclave.

More than 35,200 Palestinians have since been killed, the vast majority of whom have been women and children, and over 79,200 others injured since last October following a Hamas attack.

More than seven months into the Israeli war, vast swathes of Gaza lay in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.

Israel is accused of “genocide” at the International Court of Justice, which has ordered Tel Aviv to ensure its forces do not commit acts of genocide and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
